Monae Fusion Brunch Café

I've been wanting to try this place for a while. I love brunch and trying new places, and this place has been on my radar a bit... I gave my name and number at 12:00 pm and the place was pretty busy so I had high hopes. I was told it may be 30-40 minute wait and the kitchen is a bit behind... willing to wait out the rush, I drove across the street to Padre Murphys for a few drinks. Around 45 minutes later, still no call, I cashed out and drove back across the street to Monae, to a much emptier restaurant, and was sat immediately.. We were greeted by a very friendly lady who thanked us for coming in. We were provided water, so far so good, so I thought.... over 6 minutes later, while watching what looked to be a staff gossip gathering, we were finally given the opportunity to order. We planned to order 3 dishes and two coffee beverages, but we found out they do not have regular coffee, which my friend ordered, and the server suggested an americano as a replacement. He did not want espresso, so he opted out. We were then asked to wait for her to see if there was still breakfast/brunch food... at 1 pm, at a brunch place that closes at 5 pm? I was confused. We were told that only the omelet dish we wanted was available and not the french toast. She probably could have promoted a different dish or given a recommendation to make us stay, but didn't. I love supporting new places and enjoy raving about local eateries on my social media. The food looks and smells amazing here. I wish we had an opportunity to try it... we decided not to stay and left hungry
